Description
The Doran DS5200 Waist High Digital Physician Scale runs on an internal rechargeable battery that ends battery swaps at the intake station. Its platform carries the lowest step-up height in the market, and Touchless Start holds a weight in as little as two seconds. Physician offices that weigh all day get 600 lb of capacity with a waist-high readout that staff read without bending.
- Internal Rechargeable Battery – The built-in battery delivers at least 5,500 weighments per charge and refills through a USB cable.
- Lowest Step-Up Height – The 1.35 in platform edge is the lowest in its class, which eases boarding for unsteady patients.
- 600 lb Capacity – Graduations of 0.2 lb hold across the full range, so one scale serves the entire panel.
- Touchless Start – Stepping on starts the weighing, so intake stays gloved, fast, and contact-light.
A Waist-High Scale Built Around a Rechargeable Core
The DS5200 centers its indicator at waist height on a large slip-resistant platform that patients board with minimal lift. Doran Weight Lock holds the reading steady even when a patient shifts, and Reweigh captures a second weight while the patient stays on the platform. Units Lock prevents an accidental unit change, so the display never shows the wrong system mid-clinic. A full recharge takes about six hours through any standard 5V USB adapter, and the battery returns at least 5,500 weighments per cycle. BMI calculation runs on the indicator from scroll-entered height, and USB communications options connect the result to the record.
Features and Benefits
Power and Workflow
- Rechargeable Internal Battery – The sealed battery removes C and AA swaps from the intake station and recharges by USB cable.
- Weight Lock – Doran Weight Lock holds an accurate reading regardless of patient movement on the platform.
- Reweigh Function – A second weight can be captured without the patient stepping off, which helps verify an unstable first read.
Patient Handling
- Lowest Step-Up Height – The platform stands 1.35 in high at the edge, the lowest step-up in the market per Doran.
- Slip-Resistant Platform – The 14 in by 18 in surface gives patients secure footing during the reading.
- Wheeled Base – Durable wheels built into the base let staff reposition the scale without lifting.

Why Choose the Rechargeable DS5200
Battery-powered physician scales consume disposables on a schedule that always seems to land mid-clinic. The DS5200 replaces that cycle with an internal rechargeable battery, the lowest step-up platform in its class, and a three year warranty.
- No Disposable Batteries – The rechargeable core ends battery purchases for the intake station, which lowers running cost.
- Patient-Friendly Boarding – The 1.35 in step-up is the lowest Doran offers, which supports patients with limited mobility.
- Three Year Warranty – Doran covers the DS5200 for three years of clinical service.
- 5,500 Weighments per Charge – A single charge carries months of intake volume, so downtime stays rare.
